That is a sea of police…I think they are ready!
Freight Broker is going back and forth between Chicago and Portland.
CHICAGO: "As federal agents prepared to come to Chicago with the stated goal of stopping violence, activist groups voiced fear that those forces would be used to quell protests against police brutality and sued federal officials Thursday to prevent the kinds of civil rights violations alleged during protests in Portland, Oregon.
At the same time, a different coalition of activist groups complained separately in federal court that Chicago police have abused and insulted protesters for weeks. The groups demanded the city restrain the cops and threatened litigation if Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration doesn’t move to stop the alleged abuse.
The groups, including Black Abolitionist Network, Chicago Democratic Socialists of America and GoodKids MadCity, seek an injunction preventing federal authorities from “interfering in or otherwise policing lawful and peaceful protests” in Chicago or arresting people without cause."

It's early, nothing going on yet, and I just saw a feed of Portland with a woman pushing a baby stroller in front of the Justice Center. Hopefully she will leave before dark.
